I’ve Been

image

I've been shamed

for writing about

what's going on.

I've been on the side

of fearing what

could have been

rather than

what's meant to be.

I've been called

manipulative

and worse,

stupid and crazy.

I've been called things

that broke me in two.

You can't tell me

that anymore.

(My heart has grown

without you.)
